We always see Kanons Kop all over South Africa , but how many of us have actually seen these old cannons and do they still exist.
Well today I saw my second one , but on a really remote mountain top.
Wayneh called down to leave the bikes and walk up , as he had somthing to show us.
And this is the emblim of a Cannon from The Dutch East India Company
I am on the net doing some research into it.
Apparently The cannons were placed on mountain peaks from Cape Town to Swellendam and from Cape Town To Citrusdal as a warning system.
To let the Farmers know when the ships had arrived in the harbour, so they could bring their produce.
Myself , Lito , Paramed , N[]vA and Crossed-up
I saw on on a previous ride and I think I `ll take a ride back out there to get a pic of it.
